Boobthirster – Greater Daemon of Khorne

I’ve never really been fond of the Bloodthirster model. It’s dated. It’s metal. It’s kind of ugly. In the planning stage for this army, I’d decided I was going to use ForgeWorld Daemon Prince model… but at Games Day they were basically giving away the metal ‘Thirster models for $10 a pop. So, classic model it was.

Now that I’ve started painting them…. I’m starting to wish I’d stuck with the original plan.

For one, I hate metal. It’s less cooperative and more fragile than plastic. Plus, with the enormous wings it’s extremely top heavy.

More significantly, the sculpt is kind of wretched. I realized this while highlighting the flesh.

For starters, the musculature is pretty crazy. Like, Liefield-crazy.

Muscles and tendons aren’t quite where they should be. I can’t tell if things are bulging veins or gills or what.

Ultimately, though: the boobs.

I had the following conversation last night:

Me: “I don’t know that I want to highlight these pecs. They’re big… but I think that highlighting them makes them look more like boobs.

Mrs. Rushputin: “No it doesn’t. They’re boobs.”

Me: “They’re supposed to be enormous, masculine pecs.”

Mrs. Rushputin: “Well, they look like boobs.”

Me: “Yeah, I suppose they do.”

They are pretty huge man-boobs. It’s been better endowed by the breast fairy than the Keeper of Secrets
